Garond the Claw

Species: Wildcat

Gender: Male

Age: 45 seasons

Weapons: Garond's most prized and feared weapons are his extensively long claws, also renowned for their steel-like strength. However, he also uses a large battle axe and carries a dagger for backup. He likes to use heavy artillery weapons, which explains why he has filled the forge chamber at Salamandastron with all types of large weapons that could only be wielded by a strong wildcat or badger.

Personality: Garond is a skillful commander, being a descendant of the Earth Shaker himself, Ungatt Trunn. Following in his ancestor's footsteps, he conquered the great mountain fortress of Salamandastron, which only served to increase his level of ego. Usually self-absorbed and toying with his long claws, Garond makes the impression that he is not paying attention. But he has a very keen focus, usually never getting distracted by anything, allowing him to rule with an iron fist

Appearance: He wears a flowing purple silk cloak that is attached around the neck by an emerald circle, symbolizing the emblem of the Viper. His fur is a tanned color with darker brown stripes running along his body. He has a tall and muscular posture to give himself the regal appearance, and is quite tall. Other than this, he also wears metal bands on his wrists in battle, most of which are spiked.

History: Garond was born in the Southwest Lands with only a cruel father to raise him. Originally not part of any vermin army or group, he joined a small vermin band following the death of his father. At first, he earned some respect by selling poisons and other such inviters of death. Later on, he gained position and ranking in the Black market of the Southwest Lands, especially improving his combat skills. However, once he became supreme overlord of the corrupted scheme, creatures started rebelling, and they threw him out, scarred and filled with hatred. He spent the next four seasons spying on his enemies and recruiting allies. Finally, the day of reckoning came, as Garond destroyed his enemies and crushed their forces to the ground. His army grew, and he soon moved towards Mossflower Country, his army ever expanding. He eventually reached Salamandastron, and using similar tactics of his ancestor, Ungatt Trunn, he took over the mountain.

Affiliation: Current ruler and holder of Salamandastron, ruler of the Viper army
